Family Deficits in Having Tradesmen
Busy as a Profession
Mad Hatter had none of his own, including one
he wore. He owed it, presumably.
A/C guy has the new unit on a skid, shop floor, as
his kids broil. His crews too busy till the end of
week. Children flee to Dollar General to hang out.
Mechanic has a few classics at home, but none
for errands. Wife's Focus in his shop with only
the kid to work on it. He has broken the new part,
so another ordered.
She wants her husband to do the job, but he's
wrapped up with the accountant to reconcile
mutually contradictory forms they submitted to
IRS last year.
An audit looms!
He phones his buddy at the Ford Dealer,
and a new F-150 pickup delivered to quiet her.
It's a hit at her hairdresser’s, a somewhat macho
gang. Except Mr Perry: “Too self-consciously butch,
like the slight cowboys in gross commercials.”
